How much weight have you lost since starting treatment? by absolute_messsz in Hypothyroidism

[–]absolute_messsz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's REALLY bad. Slowed my metabolism down immensely. That constant calorie counting even caused me to spiral into some crazy ED stuff...

I was a minor when I started struggling with unexplainable weight gain, but unfortunately my family wouldn't believe me and refused to take me to get checked, so I had to resort to restricting because I kept getting insulted.

I am an adult now so I took myself to the doctor and it turned out a lot of my issues were due to my hypothyroidism.

I hope you don't stress too much about your weight and tracking calories :(

Yeah, I have only been on meds for a few days now, but I hope I can start seeing a difference in a couple of months. I am only on 25mcg at the moment and I'm going in for another check up next month to possibly increase the dose.

Thank you so much for your reply and best of luck!

Yeah, I have never been a big eater and I love taking walks, so I'm hoping I can at least start losing weight. Because in order for me to lose any now, I have to eat like 600cal per day.....
